Kafeteryam Sandwich Bar in Islington

The sandwich bar that makes you feel at home, with a very personal service and very fair priced and tasty food and good coffee. In many good ways quite the opposite from the starbucks across the street ;)

Lovely staff, great food but they do get something wrong on the order around 75% of the time. It might be better to write down the orders. I've been eating here a few times a month for the last few years.

Amazing Bossman and staff the food is excellent and good.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Abundant food and good value for money.

Honey and mustard toasted sandwich was unreal! Would highly recommend

Great atmosphere! So welcoming as well. Good was tasty only would love to have more fries 🍟 Definitely will return 😊

This is a very nice cafe. The staff here are really friendly and welcoming. The patrons here are also very friendly. The food is good, it’s a good place to get a quick bite when you’re in the area. They have a lot of Halal options too.

The breakfast here was delicious. It had flavour jacket potato with tuna and cheese brilliant 👍 salad taste the source that they put on . Wonderful, i would definitely go here if I’m around for breakfasts

Lovely server and great hot chocolate!

We came across this Local by chance as it is close to the neighborhood metro, and we decided to have breakfast there. Best decision ever! The place specializes mainly in sandwiches and wraps, we took the breakfast wraps (mine with eggs, bacon and hash brown) and they were really big and good, they kept us full for a while. Very honest prices

I’m an American student studying abroad in London for 5 months and I started coming to Kafeteryam the first week I got here because it was close to the office I was (and currently am) interning at. I walked in the door and got their house burger with a heaping load of fries and a drink for ~9£ (amazing for London). I came in later that week again and was surprised to hear that before even walking up to the counter, the owner, Martin (who is very obviously and deservedly a community legend) had already placed my order after remembering me coming in a few days later. We struck up a brief conversation and exchanged names and he hasn’t failed to remember my name, order, or to ask me how my day is, each and every time I walk through the door. As a 20-year-old studying and living alone in a new country, this simple act is one of the most gratifying and comforting experiences I’ve had while being in abroad. It’s the little things that can make you feel like a local and looked after for the short time that you’re in the shop. I come in nearly every week for lunch and I plan to do so until the day I leave. If you’re debating on giving this place a shot, I suggest you go right ahead. Massive menu, good prices, amazing food, and even better people - you can’t ask for much more.

Delicious food, prices are great and Metin is the kindest person you could find in London

Excellent service from Metin. A very attentive charming man. The site is highly recommended

Absolutely incredible cafe and one of the best and quickest full English you will ever find in London. Great value, services local community, good atmosphere and superb friendly service. Huge range of options and large portions, if you're passing get a coffee. Eat in ot takeaway, pre orders available.

Delicious sandwiches, amazing coffee and the friendliest service! Really good prices too!!!

Very nice place, friendly people, comfortable atmosphere. Good place to stop bye for the taste of the food and warm welcome

A delightful find with warm, friendly staff and an extensive, affordable menu. The halal Turkish breakfast is a must-try. The owner's personal touch makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended for a cozy, delicious experience!

I have had the veggie breakfast. Extremely delicious and value for money. Served piping hot and can’t ask anything more for breakfast. The service is great and would strongly recommend people around Caledonian Road do visit this place.

Normally good, but they've started just putting one sausage in their sausage baggets (not enough, who gives a single sausage for a 5.40 sandwich, crazy) the bread is very nice still, just need to stop sausage skimping.

Fabulous friendly local café. Great coffee and hot food. Lots of veggie and vegan options too. Clean bright and comfy. A joy!

Easily the best place for food in the area. Come here most days for food and it never disappoints. Come for the lunchtime rush and get dinner and a show, the owner juggles a lot of orders and doesn't miss a thing, all while cracking jokes and entertaining the crowd. Hats off to you sir.

Hands down best place for food in the area. Staff are all really friendly and the food is amazing every time. Had a pretty epic lamb burger just earlier today👌

Merhaba. Sahibi Metin Bey güleryüzlü ve çok iyi bir misafirperver. Kendisi çok iyi bir insandır. 2017 yılında 6 ay boyunca bu civarda yaşadım ve öğrenci olduğumuz için bizlere sürekli yemek ısmarlardı. Hesap ödemeye kalktığımızda kızardı :) güzel anılardı. 1 ay boyunca da kafesinde çalıştım. Tam bir ABİ'dir kendisi. Metin abi yorumumu görürsen bana ulaş :) instagram adresimi yazıyorum.

a great place. The owners are very friendly and attentive. The price of the products is good, and everything is of great quality. I go to have breakfast here every day. Sign: Sevilla fans

Fantastic find! The friendliest of owners who delivers the best coffee and food with a smile. Have just started working in this area and this will be my go to for sure 🌟

Great food at a fair price and the staff are really friendly. Sandwiches and jacket potatoes are massive and they have lots of vegetarian options! I come here regularly for lunch when I'm working from home, and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual place but I really like the local atmosphere. It's located right next to Caledonian Road station.

Great breakfast,fast friendly service and good value...

This place is a gem which needs to be checked out. So many items on the menu that one can spend ages deciding what they want. I opted for the falafel wrap and it was a very generous serving. The owner is super friendly and polite as are all the staff. This is one place that I keep going back to.

Lived in the area for years and have only just ate in here. What a find. Lovely staff, lovey food and great service. When I went to pay the bill, I was gobsmacked at how reasonable it was. Will diffently be my regular eating place

Güler yüzleri ve bol çeşidi ile kesinlikle denenmesi gereken bir yer. Tüm mahallenin uğrak noktası. Harika yemekler için teşekkürler 🙏

Fiyatları çok uygun. Tavsiye ederim

Generous sized traditional fare, nice staff, they are happy to customise your order. Exactly what a London café should be 👌

Servicio muy atento y ambiente súper agradable y familiar. La comida y el café también de lo mejor. En toda nuestra estancia fue nuestro lugar de desayuno de referencia. Gracias.

Superb service, delicious food, excellent prices, good location. What more could you wish for when wanting a quick morning note to eat. The owner is an extremely friendly guy who always has time for every customer no matter how often you visit or how little you may buy I should have reviewed this place far sooner than I have as I am an occasional visitor to the venue and have always been extremely satisfied!

Food was amazing, staff was amazing

Great food, generous portions and excellent service.

Delicious food, and amazing service!

What an absolutely fab cafe, the owner was so friendly and helpful. Took our little one in for breakfast this morning and he went out of his way to welcome us and make sure our baby had everything we needed. A great little local place. Will be going back! The fried egg, cheese and hash brown wrap was to die for!

The place you want to be when you are hungry. Eat in or take away the food is amazing and also the prices are amazing too. In this times when everything is very expensive the owner is trying to keep the prices affordable for everyone. The atmosphere is great,very friendly staff and fast service.

This is one of the best places in town for coffee and food. The service is attentive, provides you with immense choice of great portion size and the owner is extremely personable and generous and quick. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

Delicious wraps made by attentive, friendly and fast staff. The food is very fairly priced as well. Will definitely be visiting more often.

Fantastic food by fantastic people. I had the vegan jacket potato with beans. They do have other vegan options just ask. Portions are huge and food is cheap! They are such a lovely cafe and they get busy really quickly.

Went here this morning, fantastic breakfast baguette and very friendly staff.

Amazing breakfast, very fast preparation and excellent service! I’ll come back for sure

Killer wraps. The hummus mayo salad and haloumi wrap is unequaled anywhere on earth. Their minted lamb wrap is known even among the gods on the Olympus mountain. Truly the finest cafeterium in North London. Whenever I have been out of the country for a while I always make a specific stop at Caledonian road on the way home from the airport to have a wrap.

amazing service all round: the owner is the loveliest man, remembers every customer even after going just once or twice; makes such an effort to remember your order and the customer service is always exceptional. The vibe and atmosphere of the place is just perfect, cosy, Welcoming and warm a real local feel and just the perfect vibe and environment to eat, study, dine and relax. The food and coffee is perfect. Every time without fail the coffee is tasty, hot and the milk is just right and the food is home made, fresh, delicious, presentable and Comes out at a fast service. Overall I would really recommend this cafe for any time of the day, breakfast, lunch, coffee. You will always feel welcomed and satisfied from the product and service there. I really appreciate this cafe.

Wide selection of wraps, toasties, omelettes and more. The staff are very amiable and welcoming. I've tried the falafel wrap and the honey mustard chicken wrap amongst others. Everything on the menu is delicious 😋. The drinks are better than any other cafe too! I highly recommend Kafeteryam

Amazing cafe, its getting harder and harder to find a good quality cafe with professional service however this cafe is both and far a great price. Would 1000% recommend!

For lunch, this place is soooooo good. With the best staff. It's hard to find affordable nice places in London. Kafeterym is the one.

Excellent massive portion of Full English breakfast at a very reasonable price

Loved the food a lot!! Also the staffs are super nice. Will come everyday during my stay.

Great food and great staff, particularly the head honcho Martin. Recommended to anyone in the area for a tasty bite to eat.

Fantastic little sandwich and breakfast shop - always packed with locals. Favourite food in the area. Very kind and efficient staff.

Popped in to meet our daughter in her lunch hour. What a pleasant experience. Couldn’t do enough for us. V busy but still very attentive. What a superb little business. Will definitely be back.

A gem of Cally Road! Kafeteryam is by far my favourite lunch spot in Cally Road. The service is incredible and the food is completely delicious. Try and get there for a bite if you can!

Great staff, went above and beyond to accommodate us! Great prices as well.

Food tastes home cooked! BIG portions, varied menu, quick friendly service, excellent value for money. Bonuses: Quick free WiFi, nice welcome, and the owner remembers your last order from days earlier!

Great food, Exceptional service.. 10/10

Had the best wrap from here and been thinking about it ever since! Definitely will be coming back more often. One of the best places to eat!

Something of a local legend. Unbelievably efficient and friendly service. The main guy remembers yours and multiple customer's orders and is some sort of whirlwind around lunchtime. If you visit around 1.30pm things quieten down a lot, before there's a bit of a wait. However this is all testament to the excellent service and food. Great selection and prices are very competitive, never leave hungry or underwhelmed. A great team and it's hard to believe there's only 3 people working there, excellent, cannot recommend enough!!

Been using this cafe for a long time now and I'm very unhappy with the management regarding the staff hygiene I have bought it to his attention a number times about a certain member always having her hair down when cooking and at the deli counter with no gloves on or again hair not being tied back, but the manager refuses to do anything about it so I won't be eating there anymore and I strongly recommend that no one else does.

So glad I came in here, they have a great selection of food that I was spoilt for choice and they do drinks for all weathers. Had the Kofta Burger and it is one of the best burgers I have ever eaten, try it for yourselves, it was so soft and moist. Also, very reasonable on the wallet too! The staff are very cheerful, friendly and accommodating; no wonder this place is highly recommended and very popular with the locals.

Very friendly and generous. Good location

Absolutely lovely brunch great service

Great food that's really well prepared at a good price service with a smile all the time

Just next to Caledonian Road underground station. Convenient for a quick grab and go or chill if you prefer as they have indoor and outdoor seatings. Check out their menu. Owner is also hands-on behind the counter, brilliant with quick chats with customers who fancy one. There is a huge number of recurring customers here. Come over and try say... cappucino and a tuna toastie. You will understand why people are happy and keep coming back.

Highly recommend the toasted Honey mustard chicken sub, great staff, great food, I would have said 5 stars if they had a delivery option, that is the only disappointment. When they do delivery I will happily rate full stars. (hopefully very soon) 🤞

First choice for breakfast when on the work trips

I found this place this week (28/09/21) I ordered a bacon bap and black coffee - faultless and friendly service. Went back the following day and was immediately recognised by the owner who remembered my previous days order that extra touch made me feel welcome and at home. That’s what I call above and beyond. I would recommend this friendly place to anyone. I will definitely be going again without a doubt. Oh and Ham, cheese and tomato toasties are great too. Thanks 😊

Legendary sandwiches! Very friendly staff and tasty coffee.

I love this place. Great customer service and the food is so nice. Cheap and cheerful too. I love this place.

Good food. Very tasty and very nice staff

Amazing place for food and great service. There is plenty on the menu for choice.

Good food and great value what more do you need

Best food near Caledonian Road Station, affordable and very attentive, friendly owner. Have tried the breakfast sandwiches, chai latte, and peri peri chicken, don't think you can go wrong with any choices here!

Such a beautiful sandwich; presentation and taste. Would recommend to a friend, but I don't have any so here's one for you. Whoever served me, you da man 👌. Chicken honey mustard & chicken and bacon were our choices. No regrets.

The owner is always extremely friendly and attentive. The food is good quality and well priced. I recommend the chicken escalope wrap!

Fantastic customer service, highly recommended humans

Popped in to grab breakfast. Lovely sausage and egg sandwich with a bonus of fried onions. Friendly staff and reasonable prices too. Will definitely pop in again if I'm in the area.

Been a customer here for well over 10 years, and it’s the great food and service that will keep me coming back for another 10 years, if you’re in the area and want a sandwich/wrap and a fresh coffee, look no further!!

Great Food, Great Service and excellent coffee.

Lovely staff, delicious food!!!

Fantastic place for breakfast or lunch, always well served and delicious!

This is mine and my boyfriends local cafe and it’s the best! The staff are so lovely and personable and the food and drink is always perfect! Such a lovely local shop.

Perfect vegan roasted sandwich highly recommend... also some other vegan options and EXTREMELY friendly welcoming owner / team, I'm in there most lunch times!

Very friendly caff. Food is nice and decent price. Customising your food is the norm at this place. Highly recommended.

I love this place!! Delicious coffee and amazing, always smiling service :) I really recommend ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Very busy cafe - a sandwiches, wraps, omelettes and jackets spuds type of place. Huge portions at a very reasonable price.

My team and I come here as often as we can. Martin gives the best customer service I’ve experienced in London. The wraps are incredible and the prices are fantastic!

Friendly service, good portions and fair prices. Really great place, especially for breakfast!

Such a great place to eat Freshly made to order Friendly staff and helpful. Pricing is great

Amazing food - Amazing prices - VERY friendly stuff

Had scrambled eggs on toast with bacon, along with a berry burst smoothy. Not only were the portions excellent value for money, but they were absolutely delicious. A must visit if in the area!

Fantastic food. Massive portion at very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. A bigger salad choices would be a bonus. If you are looking for quick good food at reasonable prices don't look any further. Coffee is the best. This is the place to be.!!!!

A quality place for a coffee and some food

Wonderful and super friendly staff. Best veggie wrap ever! strongly recommend it

I come in here regularly and I am always extremely impressed - not just by the quality of the food and the value for money (and the size of the portions!) but also by what a great character the owner is. The cafe is a real centre for the community and the owner always takes the time to get to know people and make sure they are properly looked after; I have seen him showing some real care to some of his elderly/vulnerable customers - great to see in what can be quite a fast-moving city!

Best coffee on Cally!!! I would choose the coffee at Kafeteryam over Costa or Starbucks anyday of the week. See you again soon for my daily fix
